Star Trek | Ep #03


Listen now 

Stardate 12.14.11. Friend of the show and guest Hourchivist Bret joins us on a fifty-six minute mission to explore strange new words, seek out new civilized sweaters, and boldly go to Las Vegas. Set phasers on fun!

Show Notes: 
01:25  A good cross-section of knowledge (John, you don't know a lot, right?)
05:20  Original cast vs. Next Gen cast (John, you really don't know a lot, do you?)
10:04  Celebrity Klingons
12:30  The biggest shit-disturbers in the galaxy (inverted mirror!)
14:11  What do you like most about Star Trek? (a U.N. that works / uniforms / weird alien kids)
25:49  You don't want to be an unjoined Trill
29:53  Interlude: Reading Rainbow
32:20  Loosey-goosey Federation guidelines (every day was Casual Friday for Wesley)
35:15  Trek tech (a remarkable Wolf Blitzer impression)
40:18  The Wrath of Shatner
42:22  What happens in the 24th century stays in the 24th century (Star Trek: The Experience)
51:28  Press your face up against the glass and blow on it

Pizza | Ep #02

Listen now 

This week we hit your eye like a big...podcast about pizza, eluding the Napolese police, investigating the origins of provel cheese, and exposing the secret lobby behind the success of the Ninja Turtles. Grab a napkin; this one gets messy. 

Show Notes: 
00:30  Neapolitan (not the ice cream)
03:30  Variation is the slice of life (Chicago-style / St. Louis-style)
08:07  Ribbons of cheese (Uncle Provel's leather jacket)
16:30  New York-style (a less perilous pizza)
20:40  Interlude: "Pizza Day" (The Aquabats)
23:00  Step into my pizza parlor (the place for memories)
26:20  Everybody orders pizza (it was probably a bikini / one mace special: extra spicy)
42:13  "Wise man say: forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza."
44:18  'Noid Nerds
48:03  "Pizza Power" (flying saucer food delight)
50:40  I do pizza my way
54:58  The future is freeze-dried

Arcades | Ep #01

Listen now 

Armed with a pocketful of quarters and nostalgia, we prowl through the ruins of Aladdin's Castle and contract Pac-Man fever in our quest to recall the glory days of the video arcade. Side-ponytails, cheese fries, and Revolution X are among the relics of questionable value we uncover along the way. 

Show Notes:
00:45 Early arcade memories (the Dogpatch / Training ground / redemption centers / Revolution X)
09:50 Arcade etiquette (co-op vs...versus? / stranger danger / Hypercolor jerk)
15:03 The dream (John Woo-style / there’s always a girl / performance anxiety / klutz on skates / a shared moment / to the victor go the cheese fries / “Oh, they have games here...”)
26:25 Interlude: “Lots of people are playing ‘em.”
26:45 Arcadar (the search / “I put a pin in that place.”)
29:50 It’s not the games, it’s the atmosphere (darkness / “just a bunch of dirty kids” / neon / vaguely post-apocalyptic / zones / a cacophony of noise)
33:10 It’s gotta be loud (arcade music / a certain type of song / the Lilith Fair arcade / Lisa Loeb in a coin belt)
36:05 Interlude: “Pac-Man Fever”
37:00 Peripherals (loitering / cheese products / laser tag: the seed of nemeses / bumper cars / VR)
42:38 The downfall
45:00 It can never be what it was (retro arcades / 1984 / “the card is the worst.” / Dave & Busters: too legit / Chuck E. Cheese: what happened?)
